There are some salaries that could be redone. Vince is on the books at $11.6, and if cut, the team takes on $3.6M in dead money. Mankins on the books at $10.5M and if cut the team takes on $8M in dead money. Ghots $3.8/$800K. Gregory $3.1M/$800K. On the flip side, some one like Mayo is on the books at $7.6M, but if cut, the team takes a cap hit of $9.6M.

I dont recall the PAts being this tight against the cap in recent memory....

Just to compare, because Rusty loves to discuss his favorite team, the Jets, who he has labeled in "salary cap hell" maybe 500 times in the past 6 months, they have a 2014 cap number of $99M (inluding only 16K in dead money)...the figure of $99M does INCLUDE Sanchez and Holmes...assuming both are cut, the team creates another $16.5M in salary cap space....

The Jets could be looking at $40M in cap space in 2014

Yup, that would be one of them,

Scary to think Talib will probably go to the Jets because the Pats have no available cap next year. SO sad!

Cap hell. The warnings were out people. Time to lay back in the weeds.

cap hell alert...how did we get here? Lying in the weeds? The warnings were out you cry babies. Bb is the greatest. You are all spoiled just like Brady.

Interesing note on Neblett: He was DT starter in Denver on NFL's worst defense at Temple with Terrence Knighton.

"He has an incredible work ethic and he's really been a leader. Over the course of these four years, he has epitomized what we want players to grow and develop into. He went from being somebody who needed a lot of support and direction to self-reliant and empowered. I can't say enough about him."

- Temple head coach Al Golden speaking of Andre Neblett

“He’s a fun-loving guy, very competitive. When he’s on the field, he loves to compete and he works very hard, practices hard. He challenges guys in every situation. I respect that, I think he’s a terrific player. I love his competitiveness. He’s a hard guy to compete against. He’s very good.”

Whats up w/Leon??? He was out like 2 months with a thigh injury and then returns back and gets in ONE kickoff and is back out with an ankle injury?? When did this guy become so fragile?? We could have used him Sunday. I thought he would have helped. I think we may need a trade. If Ridley is down...we are thin and Vareen is gonna be rusty when he returns.

When I broke MY wrist, I removed the cast 8 weeks later and my wrist had shrunk half the size and I had to work real hard to get it back to normal...

"Take care of my B*tch, I may need her back in a couple years"

Brady to Manning after Wes signed with Denver

8 WEEKS?

Wow. Afraid to take the cast off?

Mine was 4 with some 2 week rehab to get it back into normal motion again, with some weakness.

Gronk's situation is absolutely bizarre.

Different strokes I guess. Im no doctor. I was 13 y/o. I Broke it playing real football, street, no pads. What am I gonna do tell the doctor 8 weeks is too long? Im sure its because you are just a bigger, stronger guy than I am.

In terms of Gronks situation. I know you seem to think he is being a wuss and listening to his father, but hey...Should he not? Should he believe that BB has his best interest in mind or does BB want to see Krafts money on the field, making plays? The guy got hurt last year when he came back too early most likely at the request of THEIR team doctors and he had to have surgery 5 times? Im sorry If I agree with Gronk. Thats his Life. He may damage a nerve and never have movement in it. Football is a game. In light of Fanene and that drama, gronk is doing the right thing. When we need him is in the postseason.

Reports are that the Pats are "expecting Gonk to be released to playagainst the Saints".

What a loser Queenie is. Pointing out others typos while getting bludgeoned on football over and over again. Pathetic.

did you notice he points out a spelling error rather than address the issue that with such a dire need at DT, Forston in the system for 3 years gets passed over for a roster spot?

Yes. I finally figurd out his mental condition. It's called narcissistic multiple personality disorder. Where each of his obnixious personalities as witnessed through his numerous screen names, believes they are right and they are in love with each other. It's very complicated but rest assured there is a cure.

Positives: Explosive one-gap tackle who plays with a high revving motor. Breaks down well, bends his knees, and quickly changes direction or immediately redirects to ball-carriers. Moves well about the field, plays with a large degree of quickness, and works his hands to protect himself. Shows an array of moves getting off blocks, chases the action hard and works to be productive.

Negatives: Not much of a pass rusher and really better in a straight line. Lacks bulk and is handled at the point. Wears down and rotates into the lineup.

Analysis: Neblett has been productive and durable on the college level and offers potential on the inside in a one-gap system.

For whatever that is worth....

In 2012 -

Played in 11 games with two starts for Carolina...Recorded 11 tackles, 0.5 sacks and two quarterback pressures...Contributed to unit that ranked 10th in the NFL in total defense and ninth in sacks per pass play...Suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances...Started at defensive tackle in place of an injured Dwan Edwards versus Atlanta (12/9) and at San Diego (12/16)

Hey, thanks for contributing something useful to the thread. It seems as though it kind of went off the rails, a while ago.

Did he really say that?? Wow...I just figured it out. Ocho must have caught BB downtown Miami with a tranvestite and thats why he caved in and got Ocho. I mean how could say all those things and then allow his O.C. to bench the guy in favor of Tiquan Underwood! and THEN he Cuts the poor guy(Underwood) the DAY before the SB and only uses Ocho on ONE play for ONE catch and then politely tells him to warm the bench while Brady is struggling to find anyone open who can catch a ball.

Post your source. I remember you losing our best because your source was Jets Cap Geek.

Some moron Jets tool which is probably Bustchise sets up a website and speculates up the ying yang and I set you up with a bet and you take the cheese. It was priceless.

If you think anyone on this board trusts you, Pezzy or Bustchise on Pats or Jets cap numbers, you're sorely mistaken.

Post your source.

Pezzy refuses to post his and the board knows why.

Pezzy posted it 4-5 days ago and others ( not brain dead) had no problems finding it.

So where is the link to your figures that you refuse to reveal? Jetscap in march?

Umm, Chad Johnson was a Pro Bowler for years and years. You act like he wasn't good.

You also recently praised Chad Johnson which was odd and then you got angry when I called him Ochocinco instead.

You're a weird, weird person with severe mental illness.

You are seemingly the only slow one who realizes their is a difference. I compared K.T. to a young Chad Johnson. Chad Ochocinco was a twitter w hor who got outperformed by a new guy named T.O. in his OWN offense and instead of T.O. , BB got Ocho who apparently only was good in the Cincy offense and in his last year didnt even look liked he knew THAT system. Ive always LIKED chad as a Personality OFF the Field and admired his Early work and his backround and coming from rough times with Steve Smith and getting into football as an outlet. Nice story, funny guy. BAD FIT! I said it from day one. If BB wanted to hang out with him .. fine. But BB of all people should have known it was a bad fit and if he said THOSE words that NOS qouted, than its even more baffling as to why he wasnt used. The only conclusion is that BB didnt trust Ocho on the field or he was dumb as rocks or both. They were taking him off the field for an undrafted guy with a flattop! The same guy who had Brady getting yelled at because he tried to tell him where to be.

You compared Thompkins to Johnson in a positive way, but the mocked BB's analysis on Johnson's skill set?

You don't see how that would lead an intelligent adult to see that as contradictory?

You just aren't very intelligent. Ya really aren't. Chad Johnson was a very good fit who was cast aside by a belligerent QB who thinks he only needed a few targets, VERY GOOD targets.

This is why you are crazy Rusty! You are sitting here questioning MY intelligence because you cant comprehend how I can like a Players Skillset and NOT his play. Im supposed to be impressed with 16 catches in 16 games. I have acknowledged that Chad Johnson was a Great player in Cincy with Palmer back in the day. The last few years in the league he was a bum. Wether or not that was due to declining skills or being dum as rocks we dont know as BB wont say but its not contradictory and then you look real smart when you say Brady kept Ocho off the field. BB is such a great coach...he trades for a guy he admires and lets Brady tell him he is no good and they loss a SB while BB sat and let Brady run the show?

Andre is a tough, physical, low center of gravity employee with decent explosion. He does a good job of getting low and although he doesn't benefit from long arms, he uses his hands well. No one really moves from the microwave to the fryolater like him - just last month he broke the land speed record for burgers flipped. His Burger King employee goal setting form reads...I want to catch on with the Patriots, although they set aside salary cap space for Taco Bell employees to fill defensive tackle spots during the season I know if I work hard and stay focused, I'll get my chance. I've heard the Patriots don't spend to the salary cap so they can sign guys just like me...the warnings were out people! Bill Belichick laying in the weeds. That's what he wrote.

Great post. Do we have his 3 cone time from the summer he worked at Dairy Queen?

BB got an extended look at this guy in joint practices with the Bucs, he might have some nose tackle in him at only 6 feet, is really strong benching 32 reps at the Temple pro day, also he was very good in limited action in 2012. There seems to be a pattern here with the guys they've brought in of late; short, strong, mobile.
